This Year’s Annual Meeting

CEAL Colleagues,

The 2013 CEAL annual meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 20 and Thursday, March 21 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego.  This year’s conference theme is “Open Access and Discovery in the Academic Universe: Next Steps for East Asian Studies Research and Library Development”.

Beginning this year, CEAL annual meeting will have two distinct
components:  the first day will be a full-day of plenary sessions all centering around a broad conference theme, with an opening plenary session, a plenary session on collections and a plenary session on services.  The second day of the meeting will be a full-day of committee work sessions, each with only 50 minutes of reports, briefings or demonstrations of best practices.

The Wednesday’s opening plenary will feature three nationally-prominent leaders and thinkers—Brewster Kahle, Pamela Samuelson and Clifford Lynch—who will deliver keynote speeches on open access and its implications to research libraries in the U.S. Following the opening plenary, in the afternoon three scholars will explore trends and developments in open access in China, Japan and Korea respectively.  The plenary will end with Brian Schottlaender’s keynote speech on the evolution of open access, along with select CEAL members who will share their thoughts on open access services in various member institutions.  All these sessions are designed to help CEAL members explore critical issues, ideas, and changing directions impacting our profession today. There will be a CEAL reception at the end of the day.

The program continues on Thursday, with successive committee meetings and additional meetings such as the OCLC User Forum, NCC meeting, and the Chinese Publishing Association’s forum.  The program will conclude on Thursday afternoon with a closing plenary to summarize the highlights of this year’s annual meeting and to introduce next year’s conference theme.

This year’s CEAL annual meeting program does not include a fellowship dinner, but a CEAL reception. Since the UC San Diego Library will not be able to accommodate any library tours during the final exam period of the university’s Winter Quarter, we will not have a library visit this year, either.

Below is the web link to a two-page PDF file of “The 2013 CEAL Annual Meeting at a Glance”.

• How do we pursue career development?
• What are the big issues facing paraprofessionals at this time?

Online CEAL Directory Changes

Users of the online CEAL Directory will notice a few recent changes (please see below). Please note that the CEAL Membership Committee, headed by Hikaru Nakano, relies on "Designated Updaters" at institutions to keep the information in the CEAL Directory fresh.

• "Search Personnel" has changed to "Search People" (I thought it sounded friendlier)
• The "Search People" page now has two separate search boxes: One for standard searching by name or other data, and another for searching specific groups within the CEAL Directory: CEAL Members, AAS Members, Designated Updaters, etc. The group searches provide a quick and easy listing, and the new separate boxes by search type are very convenient and easy to understand. Please see the screenshot below. 
• CEAL Treasurer Ai-lin Yang has recently updated the database with the latest information on CEAL and AAS Membership.

Let me know if you have questions or concerns.

CEAL Election 2012

Dear CEAL Members,

I am excited to announce the upcoming CEAL election!  This year we will elect representatives to fill the following important positions:

• Vice President/President Elect (2012-2014)
• Secretary (2012-2015)
• Treasurer (2012-2015)
• Members at Large (two positions)  (2012-2015)

We are fortunate to have a slate of superb candidates this year.  I thank the candidates for their willingness to stand for election.  As you consider the candidates’ qualifications for their respective duties, you may wish to consult the CEAL Bylaws at: http://www.eastasianlib.org/CEAL/Bylaws/CEALbylaws.pdf

On Monday, February 13th , current CEAL members (defined as AAS members who pay CEAL membership dues) will receive an e-mail from Rob Britt, Technology Committee Chair, transmitting CEAL Secretary Beth Katzoff’s letter with a link to the online ballot. While membership can be renewed at any time, please note that the voters list has already been finalized for this election.  If you believe that you are a current CEAL member and did not receive the online ballot on Monday, February 13th, please send a message to both Ai-lin Yang, Treasurer <ayang1@stanford.edu> and Hikaru Nakano, Membership Committee Chair <hiknaka@uflib.ufl.edu>.  The last day to cast your vote will be  Monday, March 5th.

It may not be obvious, but preparing for an election takes a great deal of hard work by many people behind the scenes.  I congratulate and thank the Election Committee (Ying Zhang, Chair, Setsuko Noguchi, Mikyung Kang, and ex-officio members, Peter Zhou, Beth Katzoff, and myself) for successfully recruiting this excellent slate of candidates.  As usual, Ai-lin Yang and Hikaru Nakano also worked hard verifying and updating the membership records, as did Rob Britt, who prepared the online ballot and the voters list.  

Thank you in advance for your participation in the election!  The election results will be announced at the Plenary I (Business) meeting on March 14th  at the Toronto, Canada AAS / CEAL conference, and after the conference, on Eastlib and the CEAL News  blog (http://cealnews.blogspot.com/).

Organizational Changes in Research Libraries and 

Their Impact on East Asian Collections:
CEAL’s Strategic Position

Wednesday March 14, 2012

10:30–12:00 noon

Dominion Ballroom South, Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel

For almost a decade, we have been witnessing major organizational changes in research libraries. Unfortunately, East Asian libraries sometimes are on the receiving end of these changes. Decision makers do not always seek the opinions of CEAL members, even though their decisions will inevitably impact how the libraries operate. This year’s plenary program aims to provide a study of some of the organizational changes impacting East Asian libraries in North America, in order to help CEAL members take the initiative to formulate a strategic position on issues critical to our services and operations.
